Factory owner is king

Chapter 22 Where to Go
What kind of place is the palace?Aside from the people living inside, it is actually a collection of countless courtyards and palaces, surrounded by a majestic palace wall.So how many houses does the palace have?I am afraid that no one knows the number. Some people say it is 99 rooms, while others say it is not.Zhu Yuanzhang himself couldn't tell.But among the magnificent inner courtyard of the imperial palace, his favorite place to stay is the Hall of Martial Arts.Before Queen Ma left him, he hadn't noticed, but as Queen Ma left, he missed her more and more.By chance, he saw the name of the Hall of Martial Arts.Wuyingdian is just a very common name, but Zhu Yuanzhang noticed the extraordinaryness of this name: it has the Chinese characters of Hongwu and the English characters of Ma Xiuying.After that, the Hall of Wuying became the place where Zhu Yuanzhang reviewed memorials, summoned ministers, and where he missed his dead wife.

Slowly putting down the Jinyiwei secret report in his hand, Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his sore eyes, "Jiang Yu!"

Under the steps of "Chen Zai", Jiang Yu knelt down on the ground.

"Have you been the commander of Jinyiwei for more than half a month?" Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Jiang Yu, waved his hand, "Get up and answer."

"Thank you Your Majesty" Jiang Yu stood up from the ground, "Your Majesty will not give up if you return to the Holy Majesty. It has been nineteen days since I became the Commander of Jinyiwei."

"Yes." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "I have read the secret report you submitted this morning, but you don't seem to understand my intention of reopening Jinyiwei..."

"Excuse me for being dull." Jiang Yu's sweat broke out all of a sudden, and his voice trembled a little.

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, "I don't care about civil servants. Mao Xiang has already helped me deal with them very well. Is there any movement in the army recently? Liang Guogong, Ying Guogong, what's happening in their houses recently?"

The Mao Xiang mentioned by Zhu Yuanzhang was the No. 1 commander of Jinyiwei, and he also created a sharp blade for him in the Hu Weiyong case, the Kongyin case, and the Guo Huan case, and was finally killed by Zhu Yuanzhang to calm public anger.

"Going back to the emperor," Jiang Yu thought about it carefully for a while, "There is nothing unusual in the army or in the dukes' mansion, but there is a new book boy named Xu Ruyi in the duke's mansion of Liangguo..."

Jiang Yu briefly talked about Xu Ruyi's affairs, and then explained in detail the meeting between Lan Yu and Xu Ruyi at the top of the mountain.

"Pay attention to that Xu Ruyi." Zhu Yuanzhang quietly listened to Jiang Yu's reply, and said lightly, "Okay, you go down. Think about it, why did I reopen Jinyiwei, if you don't understand... ..."

Can't figure out what will happen?Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say it, but Jiang Yu already understood.After kneeling on the ground and kowtowing heavily, Jiang Wei exited Wuying Palace and walked quickly outside the palace. 'If you don't care about civil servants, who can you care about?He also specifically asked about Jun Zhong and Xungui. 'Jiang Wei understood what Zhu Yuanzhang meant and moved faster. He needed to hurry up.

With Jiang Yu's departure, only Zhu Yuanzhang and his personal eunuch remained in the Hall of Wuying.

"It's okay to misunderstand Xu Ruyi as Liu Futong's heir, but he didn't report it to me, but took care of him on his own." Zhu Yuanzhang muttered to himself, with a cold smile on his lips.Lao Zhang on the side didn't talk to him, and Zhu Yuanzhang didn't like to be disturbed by others when he was thinking.

"It's that Xu Ruyi." Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, "What is he doing at Lanyu Mansion?"

"Old Zhang, has there been any report from the school inspection recently?"

"Return to Your Majesty," Lao Zhang said softly, "Recently, Xu Ruyi was mentioned by the school inspector, and the situation is similar to what Jiang Yu said."

Old Zhang knew exactly what Zhu Yuanzhang was asking, "Jin Yiwei doesn't seem to know the specific identity of Xu Ruyi, and the records about him seem to have been erased..."

"I know about this matter. It seems that Lao Liu has done a good job. Is there anything else?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked again, "Have you found out his purpose for going to Lanyu Mansion?"

"I don't know about this."

After a moment of silence. . . .

"Do you dare to meddle in my affairs?" Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes, remembering what Xu Ruyi said to Zhu Yunqi before to keep the generals in the army. "I'm afraid you don't have the ability."

**********
"Can you seriously read the book for a while! Didn't I tell you? I haven't figured out a new story yet!" Xu Ruyi slapped the desk in front of her heavily with her hand, and turned to Lan who was sitting in front of her. Chun roared.

"You...you dare to hurt me?" Eight-year-old Xiao Lanchun's face was full of disbelief, and her little face was full of grievances. "I, I will go find my mother."

While speaking, Lan Chun stood up from the seat, and ran out "deng deng deng", leaving only a few little maids and an angry Xu Ruyi in the study.

Fang Yi, Lan Chun's original husband, has been expelled from Liangguo's mansion, and he was also promoted by his wife to be Lan Chun's accompanying school boy.

Mrs. Mu said that she wanted him to teach Lan Chun to read before the new husband invited him, but in fact it was just to put a playmate with her son Lan Chun, and he didn't need to do anything.It only took one day for Xu Ruyi to finish the follow-up of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".After that, he shirked that the new story was not compiled.The young master always pestered him to tell stories, so the scene just now happened.

But the inability to make up a story is obviously not the reason for Xu Ruyi's anger.

"Ah..." Seeing the leaving figure of the young master Lan Chun, Xu Ruyi sighed, a trace of helplessness and bewilderment flashed in his eyes.

Xu Ruyi remembered clearly the purpose of coming to Lanyu Mansion.In my memory, around February next year, Zhu Yuanzhang will start to purge the army, and Lan Yu's mansion will not leave any chickens or dogs behind.Why Li Caiyu asked him to come here, he didn't know.But he himself came here to see if he could find any evidence of Sapphire's rebellion, so that it could be directly related to the massacre that was about to begin.The best evidence is a list with tens of thousands of names written on it.The goal is very clear, but Xu Ruyi hesitated a few days ago after having a drink with Lan Yu on Fengxia Mountain.After that day, Lan Yu never came to see him again, but let Mrs. Mu put him by Lan Chun's side, and there was no follow-up.He understands that Sapphire is here to protect him, and doesn't want him to draw attention from others.Although this kind of protection for Xu Ruyi is not necessary, the feelings contained in it are true.This feeling made Xu Ruyi feel that she couldn't bear it.

Seeing everything familiar around her, Xu Ruyi knew that soon, all of these would disappear.Lan Yu didn't object. Xu Ruyi knew this very well, and so did Zhu Yuanzhang.But Lan Yu's death was not because he had this idea, but because he had this ability. As long as he had this ability, Zhu Yuanzhang would kill him, but he was the introduction selected by Zhu Yuanzhang.

These are Xu Ruyi's biggest worries, and these worries have made him very irritable recently.

Gently closing her eyes, Xu Ruyi fell into thinking, "Lanyu's family is dead, and no matter what she does, it will not affect the final outcome."Then there is nothing wrong with taking advantage of the opportunity to gain some benefits. '

Xu Ruyi knows the truth very well, and he doesn't need others to teach him.But man is such a complex and contradictory animal.1 deaths and 400 deaths are just numbers on paper. As long as there is no contact with them, it will not make people feel any special.What happened to Li Shanchang last time increased Xu Ruyi's killing points by more than [-], which just made him feel happy.But now, after living in Lanyu's mansion for a while, especially after feeling Lanyu's concern for him, Xu Ruyi can no longer regard these people as the benefits he deserves.

The door of the study opened again, and the young master Lan Chun ran back.The grievance on his face didn't dissipate, and he didn't follow anyone behind him, he was still alone.

"What did Madam say?" Xu Ruyi opened her eyes and looked at the young master standing in front of her.

"Yes, I'm sorry." Lan Chun bowed to Xu Ruyi, Xu Ruyi was taken aback by this move.

"Uh, no, it's okay." Xu Ruyi waved his hand casually. Although he had not been in contact with Lan Chun for a long time, Xu Ruyi knew that Lan Chun still had a young master's temper. How could he apologize to a book boy like him?

"Humph" Lan Chun snorted, turned around and picked up a book on the table, muttering in his mouth, "I don't know why mother turned to you, obviously you yelled at me, mother must not like me anymore .”

"You can't have anything to do with the lives of people here!" Hearing Xiao Lanchun talking to herself, Xu Ruyi said to herself secretly, this was what his conscience told him.

Shaking his head, looking at Lan Chun's pouty mouth and puffy cheeks, Xu Ruyi finally said helplessly, "In the last years of the Qin Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and the heroes were vying for the throne. Liu Bang's actions..."

Hearing Xu Ruyi tell a new story, Lan Chun was happy and put down the book in his hand.Children are quick to cry and not slow to joy.

Xu Ruyi didn't know why she would tell Liu Bang's story.He knew that this story involved Liu Bang's killing of heroes, which was a bit taboo, but he still said it.

'Anyway, it's just telling stories, and it's nothing to listen to. 'Xu Ruyi comforted herself.
